I haven't driven up that part of 101 in forever.

You ever watch a slow motion video of what those drag radials do during a burn out? It's crazy to watch the shape change.

It use to be a great place for speeding tickets too! It use to be once or twice a week for me to drive thru there.

The tire store where I got my tires had a pair of M/T drag slicks, I told the guy I needed them for my car on the strip...lol

Watch the height of the rear part of the frame to the ground increase as the tire expands.

I "grew up" in SoCal, I have been watching NHRA since Big Daddy and the Snake and Mongoose were running. I had the Hot Wheels cars. The side wall wrinkle when they launch is cool also.

Lot's of great strips back in the 60's; I practically lived at Irwindale for a bit

I don't think I've ever got more then, maybe, 25K out of a set of tires in 20+ years of diving. Full throttling take offs, e brake sliding around corners and drifting highway ramps tends to do that. And I was just watching slow mo launch videos last week.

I miss center console E-Brakes.

Yeah me too. I don't have problems using the foot e brake, almost all my cars have had them, just takes a little more coordination. I disabled the e brake lock on my old Cadillac to make things easier.

I spent a lot of time time at drag strips growing up.

I like to build fast toys in my spare time.

I rode street bikes, mostly Triumphs, my 3 cylinder moved well once it got into the power band, The 650 was not as fast but they both handled well in twisties.

That looks delicious! I got hungry and I'm making Chile Colorado in my pressure cooker cause I don't want to wait. Trying to decide if I want to drink a glass of white wine with it.

If it had a motor and was fast I was into it.

Gout blowout today so no wine for me!

I should have taken some colchicine last night when my ankle first starting feeling wonky.

There were plenty of faster bikes back in the day, KZ900/1000's come to mind, but they were fast in a straight line. I saw a Gold Wing with a blower and a 4 barrel on it at the rock store, the thing could burn the back tire for a mile.

Got the floor in, just need to finish a little trim after the bookshelves are back in.

Damn I'm sorry, that looks painful. Next time take the Colchicine, if it was a false alarm, no harm done. The new research on gout shows that any alcohol is implicated ;( sorry about the new science but at least I got my eggs and coffee back.
